Ohio State parents fight the Big Ten, and serious football talk about the Buckeyes defense: Daily Pod Aug 15, 2020

Show notes

The plan for this Saturday pod was to finally get out to listeners a great interview with film breakdown analyst Diante Lee, a California high school coach who last month offered a great view of Ohio State's single-high safety defensive plan from last year. Lee's breakdown caught the eye of Doug Lesmerises, and their interview was ready to go -- and then the Big Ten football season started to crumble. So the interview was pushed back but it still matters because Ohio State football will take the field again at some point, and whenever the Buckeyes are out there, their defensive strategy will be important.

But first, Doug opens the pod with the news of the letter that Ohio State football parents sent to the Big Ten. What did it say? Why was it sent? Could it possibly bring back fall football for the Buckeyes? Doug talks all about that before it's time for some film study.

Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk.

Is the Big Ten football season collapsing, and if not, how many regular season wins for Ohio State? Aug 10, 2020

Show notes

We're back for another Mark It Down Monday, as cleveland.com's Buckeye Talk crew debates how many Big Ten games Ohio State will win this season and which opponent is most likely to spring an upset.

But first -- will there be a season at all? That question never seems to go away due to the coronavirus pandemic. Nathan Baird, Doug Lesmerises and Stephen Means discuss the events of the weekend, when the Big Ten slowed down its preseason football practice schedule and a meeting of university Presidents led to speculation the season might be in jeopardy. The gang debates how soon the Big Ten needs to make a decision and what factors could affect the decision.

Then comes Mark It Down Monday, where all three predict the Buckeyes' record during the coming 10-game Big Ten-only schedule. How will COVID-19 affect and potentially interrupt the process? Which teams are most likely to beat Ohio State and why? All three cleveland.com staffers go on the record with their predictions -- and tally up the votes from our Buckeye Talk text subscribers as well.

As always, thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk -- now five days per week!

Does Ohio State have a Clemson-like easy schedule as the Big Ten loses star power? Daily Pod Aug 07, 2020

Show notes

On this Friday Buckeye Talk episode from cleveland.com, Doug Lesmerises and Nathan Baird continue to react to what's happening in college football and how it affects the Ohio State Buckeyes. At some point soon, they'll get back to episodes with specific themes, but for now, the news come fast and furious.

First, Doug and Nathan dive into the three major Big Ten opt-outs. The three best non-Buckeyes in the league aren't playing in 2020, so what does that mean for Ohio State's schedule, and are the Buckeyes looking at the kind of easy stroll through the season that Clemson usually has in the ACC?

Then, Ohio State captains released a letter in support of Ohio State's handling of the coronavirus and the school's safety precautions around COVID-19. What does that mean for the program and the possibility of any OSU opt-outs?

Then, a final quick look at the Ryan Day-Jim Harbaugh kerfuffle and how it's viewed in Michigan.

Thanks for joining another busy Buckeye Talk from cleveland.com.
